  • Publication number: 20200034325
    Abstract: Provided are a system and method for combining USB data streams. In one example, the method may include receiving, via an input port, a first universal serial bus (USB) input signal from a first device that is connected to the input port, receiving, via an interface, a second USB input signal from a second device, combining data from the first USB input signal and data from the second USB input signal to generate a combined USB data signal, and outputting, via an output port, the combined USB data signal to a third device that is connected to the output port. The system and method described herein can improve USB data transfer by combining USB data from multiple USB streams into a single USB output stream.

  • Publication number: 20190164141
    Abstract: Provided are a system and method for combining USB data streams. In one example, the method may include receiving a user identification of a user associated with a transaction, receiving product information associated with the transaction which is transmitted from a reading device to a point-of-sale (POS) terminal, intercepting the received product information, and automatically retrieving a benefit to be included in the transaction from a remote server based on the product information and the received user identification, and outputting the product information and information about the automatically retrieved benefit to the POS terminal. The system and method described herein can automatically detect a reward to be applied to a purchase at a POS terminal by intercepting scanned data and searching a remote platform.
